It’s a wild exercise to try and distil down the unparalleled astrology of 2025. In part, that’s because the planetary movements this year are far more active than in any of the five years I have been researching and writing these articles, and also because there are celestial happenings this year that have not happened simultaneously for hundreds of years.
There are so many changes this year, so much newness – which isn’t to say that it is bad or scary or negative – it’s simply new. I don’t think any of us have moved through the last several years without feeling a pressure cooker of energies. We can all feel that things are shifting and yet, toward what we do not know. The focus has been on fissures and polarities and endings rather than speaking to what our world, our planet could be on the other side of such dramatic times.
In 2025, it’s like the structures and foundations for the next chapter begin to land, new visions take focus. Dare I say it, it feels quite hopeful?
We have the usual Mercury retrogrades, as well as a Mars and a Venus retrograde this year, which always prove to be strong personal transits. Both will connect us with what drives us, our instincts, our evolving values and relational selves. Take note of where both will be taking place in your chart.
With so much newness in terms of planetary movements and a big change in the elements, being grounded in your body, in present time, is highly recommended. This will aid you in not only being more connected to your own instincts and intuitions, it will also aid you in being adaptable as we set up and create the stage for this next chapter. What are the rituals and the habits that nourish you? And how do you best clear and regenerate yourself? Are you taking in a lot of information, every day, like all of us? How do you clear your mental spaces? Write out the things that make you feel most alive, most like yourself. Put your energy and your time into these things.
